As noted by zeocrash, a user on OpenCongress.org, on June 21, 2010, "there is no way that this bill can be created to preserve people's freedoms. the bill it's self is an attack on people's freedoms. You say it's important to protect against attacks on the internet. This bill will allow the government to take down the internet within the US, disrupting communications in a way that most cyber attackers could only dream of. "
Additionally, I believe that an unchecked government with this kind of power is a far greater threat to individual and social security than any terrorist group. Our Government appears to be power hungry, to what ends, I have my opinions, and this is unacceptable. The Mainstream Media is skewed and the internet is the only place to find real information, the only real free press left, and if this passes, my opinions would be confirmed.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Florio
Dear Jennifer:
Thank you for sharing your concerns with me. As your representative, I
always enjoy hearing from you on issues that you are passionate about.
Your opinions and comments are very important to me and I will keep your
views in mind when I vote on issues that are of value to you.
If you have further concerns or recommendations, please do not hesitate
to contact my office or visit my website at http://berkley.house.gov
Sincerely,
SHELLEY BERKLEY
Member of Congress

Note to Congressional staff & elected officials reading this: this letter was sent through Contact-Congress features on OpenCongress.org, a free public resource website, but in the future we seek to compel the U.S. Congress to adopt fully open technology for constituent communications. For more information how your office can better handle public feedback through an open API and open standards, contact us -- even today, there are significantly more efficient and responsive ways for our elected officials to receive email feedback than the status quo of individual webforms. For greater public accountability in government, we must make the process of writing one's members of Congress more accessible and empowering. Looking ahead, we will release more data from Contact-Congress letters and Congressional response rates back into the public commons. This will result in a new open data source on bills & issues people care about, as well as encourage best practices in constituent communications and make it possible to grade members of Congress on their responsiveness & citizen satisfaction.
